"Garfield High students walk out to protest education cuts" (slideshow)

Students chant in front of Seattle City Hall during a walk-out by hundreds of Garfield High School students on Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2011. Some students and parents at the rally said about one-third of the student body walked out to protest proposed education cuts now being considered during a special legislative session in Olympia.
